Melissa Schreiber, LCMHC

Melissa Schreiber is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family problems, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and anger. She also addresses concerns like codependency, attachment struggles, blended family issues, and communication problems.

Clients find straightforward conversation in sessions. Melissa focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck, notice how their relationships affect their choices, and practice different ways of responding.

Her approach draws from client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and emotionally focused work to map how feelings and interactions shape a relationship. The Gottman Method informs work around communication and recurring conflicts.

Melissa integrates elements from existential therapy when people face major life questions or changes. That can help when grief, separation, or shifts in identity create uncertainty. She also brings mindfulness-influenced practices to support calmer responses to stress.

People seeking help with substance use, domestic violence aftermath, family-of-origin patterns, gender dysphoria concerns, or end-of-life issues can expect direct, practical conversation. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and build small, usable skills to manage day-to-day challenges.
